Verity PDF's and XML

[Paul Ihrig]

ok. inherited app.
uses verity to index pdf's but really only the xml extracted text from pdfs..
if some one created the xml  associated it with the db entry...
which apparently no one has done in 8 months and no one knows how to..

why would some one go this route instead of just indexing the text
inside of a pdf?

was this a restriction, or faster method a few versions ago?

just about to change some app logic, but dont ant to if there is a
reason not to.
thanks a bunch

ok..
well i am starting to figure out why.
indexing more then 5-10 pdfs at a time is slow... as in crashing slow.
when i have Hundreds i need to look through...

so now i just need to find a pdf to xml converter or parse it out to
text and run my indexes of test files...
so redundant... there has got to be a better way..
